Bill,
Al told me that Spanish Cedar is actually in the Mahogany family. I know they look similar.
-
Bill---I have some spanish cedar that I use. It is excatlly like Mohogany...as a matter of fact---If I don't keep the seperated---I get them confused in both look and sound. It is just as Rickey said.

Wish I could post a picture . I've got a Spanish cedar and Sapele one sider that is pure turkey. Its a great combo. *bannana* I'm sure Rickey can post some.He has most combos TWICE *bowing*
-
Thanks for the replies!!!
-
I pulled out three calls with Spanish Cedar boxes and a couple calls with lighter mahogany boxes and I cannot tell much difference in their color or grain pattern.
-
I just did the same... You are right. Not much difference
-
I've got a Spanish cedar and Sapele one sider with the Chain Gang checkering on order from Ole Tim Clayton---he builds some good---uns!!!

It's not hard to tell Spanish Cedar from Mahogany. Just smell of them! ROTFLMBO The Spanish Cedar has an aroma! It's used a lot for making cigar humidors. In looks, it's very similar to mahogany..

Al, Jeff, Rickey.....the Spanish Cedar should be lighter in color and smoother grain and softer than the Mahogany...Right????

Mike, the color is VERY close usually. Some Mahogany is darker, but I've also had Spanish Cedar that is on the darker side. Same with hardness, it varies quite a bit from one piece to the other with mahogany and spanish cedar alike. I've had some Honduran Mahogany that was very soft and fuzzy when drilled out.

You aren't kidding on the smell. I have one from you with a Peruvian Walnut paddle. Darn box still stinks and I think it's almost 2 years old. That's why I never did buy another one.. thought you'd let Josh's girlfriends cat pee on it or something ROTFLMBO
I think it stinks worse than that darn Camphor Burl pot Daryl sold me *aah*
-
I like how it smells.....What does that say about me???

It says that your sense of smell isn't distorted from huffing yella dust :)

Maybe there is a market for Spanish cedar/Alsaskan Yellow cedar and Osage cologne after all! *dance*
The box shown here is Spanish cedar although the striker is Walnut, my brother got it for Christmas

Great looking box Dave! I bet he didn't have a clue what he was getting for Christmas! ::) ::) ::)

Hopefully by May he will have a clue what's under the hood! Kind of like my Grand mother's 1967 Mustang convertible the the 390 CI engine.lol ROTFLMBO

there is deffinatlly a smell to Spanish Cedar that Mohogany does not have---other than that --they look identical
